We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible, consisting of both Old and New Testament, inspired by the Holy Spirit, historically accurate, and without error in the original writings. We believe the Bible to be the final authority for life, faith and practice.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed by the Scriptures.

We believe in the pre-existence of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His deity as God, His incarnation, truly man and truly God, His sinless life on earth, died a vicarious death and was victoriously and bodily resurrected; that He ascended to he right hand of the Father from where He will personally come again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe that through the atoning work of Christ on the cross, God was reconciled to man; that it is absolutely essential for man now to be reconciled to God; regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that this regenerative work takes place only as man repents of his sin and receives Jesus Christ as his only Savior.

We believe that it is the work of the Holy Spirit to regenerate individuals and that He indwells those individuals to whom He has imparted eternal life; that it is His work to baptize each true believer into the body of Christ, the Church, and seal each one eternally in that body; that it is He who enables the true child of God to live a godly life and serve God acceptably according to His will and by His power.

We believe that the Great Commission places a responsibility upon every believer to have a part in getting the Gospel to every creature under Heaven according to the will of God; that this should be accomplished through a proper use of all means that are in keeping with the Word of God and the Spirit of God.

We believe in the New Testament Church, that all believers are members of one invisible church, the body of Christ, as manifest in the local Church for the purposes of Christian fellowship, scriptural ordinances and the preaching, teaching, and evangelism in local communities.

We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ-in power and glory to claim His own, and that He will come to earth to establish a literal earthly millennial kingdom.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; in the eternal blessedness in Heaven of those who have believed unto salvation and the everlasting damnation of those who have not, which teaching we believe to be according to the Word of God.
